What Remains of Polaris Amphitheater

These shots were found on the "columbusunderground forum" by spocksbrain on PT. They are on the Flicker photo stream of user cdubya1971and were taken on July 2nd, 2011.

From the photographer: "Polaris Amphitheater, or Germain as it was called when it closed in 2007, is now just in decay and ruin. Following the 2007 concert season the facility and property were auctioned for sale but received no bids from buyers. Seats have been uprooted and there is quite a level of untouched vandalism and graffiti." See the rest of the photos here.

Billy Ray Cyrus played the first concert at Germain Amphitheater in 1994.Toby Keith played the final show on September 16, 2007. The last Phish shows took place there July 14th and 15th in 2000.

Notes: Trey played keys for part of PYITE. During Meatstick, Trey talked about the band’s desire to teach fans the Meatstick Dance and break the world record. He then informed the crowd that the New Year’s Eve concert would be played in Florida.
